Beautiful spot alongside the river. Sanitary facilities are clean, but too much garbage lying around. 25 reais a night (2 persons + car) was too much money considering the facilities. But spotting a jaguar, blue macaws and an iguana made it definitely worth the money. Owner is Oscar.

North side Pantanal: 28 kms beyond Poconé, towards Porto Cercado Rough camping near two ponds. Another beautiful spot is 1 km further down the road, next to the 'caiman bridge'. There we saw an even larger range of birds.

Hostel Natura, situated outside the city and nearby the waterfalls on the Brazilian side. The owner Anwar speaks good English and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We slept in our car and paid R$10 (2 persons and car)

Spent the night at the lovely, friendly, clean Hotel El Torre (price around 70 *bolivianos* for double room). The first time we were in Tupiza, we parked in the same street and slept in the car. It was a quiet night and without any problems.

Nice friendly place when I stayed there. Clean suites with kitchens. Nice pool area. Off street gated parking. When I called they described their Hotel as a "residence hotel" for longer stays but, if you call and they have available suites, they will happily rent nightly. I would highly recommend this place.

Possible at large Shell petrol station, west of town. Other option is to pay a bit (R$25 for 2 persons and car) to park at the parking lot of Village Hotel on Avenida São Luiz 1399, on the eastside of the city. It has WIFI, swimming pool and extensive breakfast buffet included in the price.

Spent the night at Prainha, two kms west of town. This beach along the river has showers and toilets but is normally only open on weekends. Check with the Prefeitura if it is possible to stay here on weekdays. We greatly enjoyed this quiet spot.

Balneário Praia do Chiquito lies at 7 kms from downtown Novo Xavantino and is run by the friendly Vivian. Beautiful spot during weekdays. Probably crowded during weekends and holidays. Now it was quiet and lovely. Showers, river and BBQ.

Quiet night at huge Petrobras petrol station. Around the city are several beaches and balneários (recreational areas). One is east of the city (no name) and normally only used during the weekends. We arrived Sunday and good spend the night at stay on Monday. Pleasantly crazy place on Sunday and paradise on Monday. Silence, birds, swimming pool, showers.

Restored Rondon Telegraph Station 20 kms south of Campo Verde, at Asentamento Capim Branco. Nicely restored building and now housing a museum about Rondon and his telegraph lines. Next to is a good spot for camping, underneath an enormous mango orchard.
